Shanghai's Lafuente Maps (1st Edition)


In May 2012, ViSH, a Spanish travel agency, partnered with Alvaro Leonardo-Perez and his Shanghai-based design company named Polifactory, to publish a printed tourist map designed and edited by the architect with his partners, highlighting the architectural legacy of the Spanish architect Abelardo Lafuente in Shanghái, China. It was sponsored by two private restaurants in the city, called Casa 700 & Sasha's.

It was a small number of city maps provided for free at both restaurants and to all the agency clients interested in knowing the Spanish imprint in the city. This was the first step given by this research project to produce a map showing the buildings after the but tour success during the Expo 2010 in Shanghai. It was mentioned by El Viajero Section of El Pais at the following article HERE named "Huellas españolas en un Shanghái insólito"
